Melissa and David are very reliable and get along great with our Scout! They send several pictures each visit, which is nice to get when you’re away from your pet! We continue to book them each time we go out of town.

Fantastic cat sitter—dependable, kind, and great with cats. Loved the updates and photos, and our cat was clearly happy and well cared for. Highly recommend!

We are so grateful for the care you gave our pet! It gives us such peace of mind knowing they were loved, well cared for, and treated like family while we were away. Thank you!

We appreciate Melissa and David so much. They always make room for Jules. We’re so lucky to have found them.
